Message from Dennis Conner

Hi, I'm Dennis Conner.  I've won the America's Cup four times.  I know a thing or two about commitment and excellence.

Being at the pinnacle of sailing has given me a great opportunity in life.  I've traveled all over the world and met many fascinating and accomplished people.  When you put your mind to something, you can succeed.

Today, I am writing to you as the "Chairman of the Board" of North Cove  From 1992 to 1995, I lived in Battery Park City, just a few blocks from North Cove.  I kept my America's Cup catamaran in the marina.  This is one of the most beautiful urban environments in the country.

When I returned to North Cove following 9/11, I was grateful that the Battery Park City Authority was able to recover it after such a devastating event.

Now, I am proud to be a part of the future of North Cove.  I've helped establish the vision and set up the management to rebuild the marina.

Our goal is to make North Cove an unforgettable port of call.  We want to bring the world to North Cove.  This can be the greatest marina in our greatest city.

If you own a boat, please bring it to North Cove.  We cater to mega yachts with 12 slips ready and waiting for our exclusive group of guests.

We also have slips for historic vessels and smaller boats.  Every boat is welcomed whenever space is available.

New York City is our country's business, media and cultural capital.  This is where deals get done, where you can live the high life and experience the best of everything.

North Cove is your gateway to the Big Apple.  Please bring your boat here at least one week each year.  Use it to entertain clients and hold business meetings.  Use your boat as your base for shopping, visiting the finest restaurant and Broadway shows and buying art.  North Cove is the place to see and be seen.

I want to personally thank you for bringing your boat to North Cove and contributing towards this vision.

The welcome mat is out.  Come by and visit!
